VAMWorldβ

Welcome to the new home of the VAMWorld wiki! Efforts have been made to transfer the entire wiki and all images from the old wiki at Wikispaces to this new platform. You will probably notice it has a "Wikipedia" feel to it, and you should. The framework is the same as that which is used by Wikipedia. Over the next few weeks or months, there may be some growing pains while the kinks are ironed out of the migration, but in the end, it is our hope to provide you with not only all the information you are used to seeing on VAMWorld, but also an improved user experience regardless of whether you are using a 27" 4K display like the one I'm using right now, or a smartphone at a coin show.

This site is devoted to Morgan and Peace Dollar die varieties, known as VAM varieties. It is open for all members to contribute, edit and improve. Created in 2006, VAMWorld is now the go-to site for all VAM knowledge, thanks to users who have spent a lot of time creating and editing content. If you have information about VAMs, or can help populate this site, please contribute!
If you wish to make contributions to the VAMWorld wiki, you will need to create an account on the Wiki, which is different from the discussion board. It only takes a few seconds and it is free. If you don't want to contribute to the wiki, you do not need an account to be able to read everything here. Note this is a moderated site. Content not about VAMs may be removed. Posting rights will be revoked if necessary. Photos posted here or migrated from the original VAMWorld may be resampled for display.

This week's VOTW is the 1883-O VAM-57A. The 1883-O VAM-57A is one of my favorite VAMs.
Main features of this VAM is the radial die crack from rim up past right side of right 8 with displaced field break and the beveled bottom of right tail feathers.
